The Distribution Of Distress
The Reith Lectures11 Maalis 1997

The Distribution Of Distress

This year's Reith lecturer is Professor Patricia Williams, one of the most well known intellectuals in American law.

Discussions of race and class often combine the two categories, leaving both these aspects of a problem inadequately addressed.
